Katherine Miles Innovation Award Abstract Submissions
We are now inviting pharmacy technicians to share research abstract submissions for consideration as either a short oral presentation or a poster presentation. In 2025 we were excited to share 43 posters and 4 oral presentations and we encourage you to become involved this year.
If the thought of putting together a poster or an abstract or even an oral presentation sounds daunting, we at APTUK want to help make this process as easy and as enjoyable for you as possible, so we will be providing workshop webinars to APTUK members to help you through the process and to encourage as many of you as possible to showcase your work. More information will follow on this soon.
There are four categories to choose from for your abstract:
- Clinical practice
- Leadership
- Education
- Research
Please visit the APTUK 2026 website for abstract submission guidelines.
Closing date for abstract submissions is 30th March 2026.
